Catabolism Pathway

Abstract Background: Klebsiella pneumoniae is a bacterium that can be used as producer for numerous chemicals. Glycerol can be catabolised by K. pneumoniae and dihydroxyacetone is an intermediate of this catabolism pathway. Here dihydroxyacetone and glycerol were produced from glucose by this bacterium based on a reverse glycerol catabolism pathway. Results: tpiA, encoding triosephosphate isomerase, was knocked out to block the further catabolism of dihydroxyacetone phosphate in the glycolysis. After overexpression of a Corynebacterium glutamicum dihydroxyacetone phosphate dephosphorylase (hdpA), the engineering strain produced remarkable levels of dihydroxyacetone and glycerol from glucose. Further increase in product formation were obtained by knocking out gapA encoding an iosenzyme of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase. There are two dihydroxyacetone kinases in K. pneumoniae. They were both disrupted to prevent an inefficient reaction cycle between dihydroxyacetone phosphate and dihydroxyacetone, and the resulting strains had a distinct improvement in dihydroxyacetone and glycerol production. pH 6.0 and low air supplement were identified as the optimal conditions for dihydroxyacetone and glycerol production by K, pneumoniae ΔtpiA-ΔDHAK-hdpA. In fed batch fermentation 23.9 g/L of dihydroxyacetone and 10.8 g/L of glycerol were produced after 91 hours of cultivation, with the total conversion ratio of 0.97 mol/mol glucose.Conclusions: This study provides a novel and highly efficient way of dihydroxyacetone and glycerol production from glucose.

After overexpression of a Corynebacterium glutamicum dihydroxyacetone phosphate dephosphorylase (hdpA), the engineered strain produced remarkable levels of dihydroxyacetone (7.0 g/L) and glycerol (2.5 g/L) from glucose. Further increase in product formation were obtained by knocking out gapA encoding an iosenzyme of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase. There are two dihydroxyacetone kinases in K. pneumoniae. They were both disrupted to prevent an inefficient reaction cycle between dihydroxyacetone phosphate and dihydroxyacetone, and the resulting strains had a distinct improvement in dihydroxyacetone and glycerol production. pH 6.0 and low air supplement were identified as the optimal conditions for dihydroxyacetone and glycerol production by K, pneumoniae ΔtpiA-ΔDHAK-hdpA.

The Impact

Syngas, the product of biomass gasification, can play an important role in moving towards the production of renewable chemical commodities, by using acetogenic bacteria to ferment those gaseous mixtures. Due to the complex and changing nature of biomass, the composition and the impurities present in the final biomass-derived syngas will vary. Because of this, it is important to assess the impact of these factors on the fermentation outcome, in terms of yields, productivity, and product formation and ratio. In this study, Clostridium ljungdahlii was used in a fed-batch fermentation system to analyze the effect of three different biomass-derived syngases, and to compare them to equivalent, clean syngas mixtures. Additionally, four other clean syngas mixtures were used, and the effects on product ratio, productivity, yield, and growth were documented. All biomass-derived syngases were suitable to be used as substrates, without experiencing any complete inhibitory effects. From the obtained results, it is clear that the type of syngas, biomass-derived or clean, had the greatest impact on product formation ratios, with all biomass-derived syngases producing more ethanol, albeit with lesser total productivity.

Background: Several strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae are responsible for causing pneumonia in lung and thereby causing death in immune-suppressed patients. In recent year, few investigations have reported the enhancement of K. pneumoniae population in patients using corticosteroid containing inhaler. Objectives: The biological mechanism(s) behind this increased incidence has not been elucidated. Therefore, the objective of this investigating was to explore the relation between Klebsiella pneumoniae and increment in carbapenamase producing Enterobacteriaceae score (ICS). Methods: The available genomes of K. pneumoniae and the amino acid sequences of steroid catabolism pathway enzymes were taken from NCBI database and KEGG pathway tagged with UniPort database, respectively. We have used different BLAST algorithms (tBLASTn, BLASTp, psiBLAST, and delBLAST) to identify enzymes (by their amino acid sequence) involved in steroid catabolism. Results: A total of 13 enzymes (taken from different bacterial candidates) responsible for corticosteroid degradation have been identified in the genome of K. pneumoniae. Finally, 8 enzymes (K. pneumoniae specific) were detected in four clinical strains of K. pneumoniae. This investigation intimates that this ability to catabolize corticosteroids could potentially be one mechanism behind the increased pneumonia incidence. Conclusion: The presence of corticosteroid catabolism enzymes in K. pneumoniae enhances the ability to utilize corticosteroid for their own nutrition source. This is the first report to demonstrate the corticosteroid degradation pathway in clinical strains of K. pneumoniae.
